The Rise and Decline of the Jewish Community of Žilina (Slovakia)
A memorial book for the town of Žilina in Slovakia; pp. 10-18 relate the fate of the Jewish community in the Holocaust. In 1939 Slovakia came under Nazi control. Jews who worked for the government lost their jobs, and the number of Jews allowed to work independently was limited. Discusses anti-Jewish measures, including "Aryanization" laws in 1940.

Assuming that EU politicisation can be seen both as vice and vir...
